All your settings are saved so you don't have to type them in every time. All dialogs and windows remember their size and position, so you don't have to move and resize them every time you open them. And most windows in Creative Element Power Tools are resizable, so you're not stuck with tiny windows on a big screen or huge windows on a small screen. In short, every part of the package is designed with care to be as useful and efficient as possible, without the annoyances found in so many other products. <a href="http://www.cash-advance-business.com" rel="nofollow">Cash Advance</a> In addition to the specific tools designed to improve productivity thoughout Windows, there are several features you’ll find in all parts of Creative Element Power Tools.

It seems nice and fast - no slower than XP. The only problem i have is the missing drivers. It sounds like there used to be an nVidia driver on Windows update, I don't suppose anyone has a copy they could email over? I’ve just upgraded my TC110. It seems nice and fast – no slower than XP.

The video driver is the default and I cna't seem to find one on the Nvidia site that will install either. The screen rotation does not work as a result. Still working my way down the list of things to reinstall. I installed VISTA and have a few lingering problems.

I can not get the screen to go from portrat to landscape. It has the pulldown but says nothing. I downloaded the driver for nVidia but says it was incompatible. Any suggestions on this?

But I often have 30-40 browser tabs open along with 10 PDF files and a few powerpoints and word documents and it performs very well. I do have 1.5GB though and a faster hard drive than normal.

I have upgraded my tc1100 to 1.5GB of Memory but not the harddrive and I find the performance of WinXP very poor. How about everyone else? And will it improve if I upgrade to Vista? Especially interesting to me is the speed for suspending and resuming the system. What about the new sleep mode in Vista? What about performance?

I have ReadyBoost - a 2GB flash drive - on my Laptop but I haven't really noticed much impact - although that's probably because I don't run many apps on it and it already has plenty of memory. My TC1100 is running very quick anyway so it's not worth the hassle to use ReadyBoost on it.

I had the Same problems. I really miss the ability provided by the NVIDIA driver under XP. In XP when I docked or undocked my tablet, than it automatically changed the display settings (extend the desktop to the second monitor, or disable the second monitor when I wadded) It is work for you? I also have problem with my PCMCIA Card reader. Did you try Ready Boost? (I started to use it yes bay, it maybe speeds up a little bit, but I did not take any measures yet. great post! I had the Same problems.

I have had a lot of tablets, then I sell them, and then I miss them. I was at compusa today, tc1100 without manuals, etc, very clean. $899 I couldn't resist. I had the original acer convertible, then a tc1000, now I am blanking, a few others, then a motion le1600, samsung q1 and ux-50. Jonesing for some one note functionality again, so I pulled the trigger. I tried vista beta on le1600 and it was early on. Vista is so much better inking and tablet functionality but a memory hog. how is it??? sluggish, decent? I have had a lot of tablets, then I sell them, and then I miss them.

All the devices were recognised. However when I plugged in an SD card (1GB) it tried to install drivers for a PCMCIA MTD-0002 which is shown under Other devices in device manager. I tried updating it's drivers using those I unpacked from HP but no luck? Any more details of how you actually got it working? hmm, I tried installing the latest XP driver from the HP site, and it installed ok provided it ran it with the XP compatibility option.
